I didn't get to post yesterday, but I picked up the Snowspeeder and R2 online as an early Father's Day gift and then hit the Lego Store to spend some gift cards. I picked up Slave I (I have decided I will never find a discount) and Yoda here decided that she also wanted a "rocket ship." I love that she is getting into all of this with me!

I'm going to go with "has she got a sister?"

the wife texted me with these garage sale finds. the starfighter & vader are unopened - all 4 sets for $23. Now the inevitable question.....

I was finally in a position where I had money and could make a pilgrimage to the Salt Lake City Lego store to get this bad boy and finally build it. The one thing I want to say that seems a bit odd and bums me out a bit, is the fact that they use two rubber rings to connect the bottom portions of the wings. I wonder if to get the angle they had to go this way, or if there actually could be a way to keep it up without using the rings. Now I know some of you guys have whined about the old snowspeeder, but seriously this thing is beyond beautiful in person. It was a satisfying build and has some serious weight behind it. For those that are on the fence, just fork over the money and buy it!

ATTN SYW Magicians: The 71042 Silent Mary is now available for shipping/store pick up and NOT a hot buy... how low can you go?? http://www.kmart.com/lego-disney-s-pirates-of-the-caribbean-silent-mary/p-004W009268484001P

There is a fetish for everything these days. To each his own I guess.

Ooooooooh! What a nice surprise to wake up to. Finally something to drop points on. I'm not even going to play the magic game. $15 off and I'll use 184.99 in points. Free? Yes, please.

Somebody else's May The 4th was better than yours. A dude from Singapore actually posted this on Facebook.

While y'all are out there pillaging Lego stores, I stuck to my normal SYW witchcraft.

Wasn't planning on getting the silent mary but couldn't resist with points and coupons. Was able to get it for $95 after Kmart magic.

150 elements and 40 stickers... overly cringed. took me almost 90min to finish this one because of those freaking stickerz. Other than that great little build for fairly good price. Great little details for such scale. (huge F1 fan here)

Yup, got this for free at local Kmart today too

LEGO couldn't even wait a year before making a set out of Jose Fernandez's death.

Oh my innocent days when I was happy buying baseplates at KMart for 40-70% off. How much I still had to learn. Today I'm feeling sad when I actually have to pay at FreeLEGO.com ....

EBay MF 9468 Vampyre Castle $135+ shipping

Finally got around to finishing 42039 c-model... found the instructions for it on rebrickable when i was searching for the f1 moc. Fun build and when will I ever build a technic lawnmower again?! Model is designed by Piotr Gurdek

i think you quoted the wrong person, but if you talking Asses, they are everywhere.

Thrilled to Grill Instant Win is a doorbuster right now.

3 x at st from tesco. £15 each in the clearance section. so cancelled my 2 back orders from lego. happy days

I'm pretty sure he said it was out of the catalog for this year and was therefore done. I'll try to find a link. Edit: link:

I've gotten $87 to spend but with that I still can't get my head around buying Silent Mary...

I got mine in a random advertising email. I learned a while ago to skim every SYW and Kmart email they send. Often there are hidden gems randomly placed, but mostly at the bottom of the email.

Truly a throwback Thursday. Found these babies in a random Walgreens. Like it, if you dare.

Best I can do at the moment, but ill take it for a personal build (if it ships). I will say I have seen weird things with Kmart fulfillment the past few months, on a handful of sets. Including what seems to be fulfillment from Barnes and Noble for things "sold by Kmart". so will see where this goes...

#0 is the perfect size for poly bags and most of my orders. On the subject, I finally settled in my favorite mailer: Sunuku Mailers. They are on eBay and have a website. They are the cheapest US mailers I've found. Highly recommended if you've yet to choose a brand.

i would like to first to apologize to everyone on the thread for going MIA today. something urgent and totally unexpected happened early in the morning and in dragged till around 6. A big thank you to @Alpinemaps for running the event on his own, believe me there is a lot of work behind the scenes that goes into this. Congrats to SEAPOTATO for winning and being a regular participant Thank you all for participating

Picked up a Simpsons House using eBay bucks last week and it has 13R7 seals. Definitely still fresh ones being cranked out.

Found this one on World Wide Web, sorry if reposting.

I like paint

Nope. you should be fine. I've never heard anyone get banned for buying from Bricks and Pieces. I've put in large orders before (~$100), without issue. I *suppose* it might raise an eyebrow if you ordered 200 Wonder Woman torsos. But I doubt it.

Sorting by pieces isn't that bad really. I've done it over the past year or two with the UCS Imperial Shuttle, The Tumbler, and all the Indiana Jones sets. I still have a bunch of others sort through, like UCS AT-ST, UCS R2-D2, Republic Dropship and AT-OT, and several others. You get better at it the more times you have to do it.

Unfortunately this has been the case for a few months now. On a lot of these offers, gift cards aren't counting as 'out of pocket dollars' anymore. What you noticed is standard behavior on most of these offers. There may be exceptions, but in your example this is normal.

Two Step is always enabled for Roy

Maybe that's Phil B reselling his base plate stash.

A few BL sales I don't think i mentioned. Sold a Tydirium for $100 Villa Savoye $100 HL Private Jet $30 Raptor Rampage $50 Batman Battle pod $40 Disco Batman poly $18 Batwing poly $5.50

I just finished building a MOC of FW38 from last season. Getting started on the FW40.

@Bold-Arrow is buying the gift cards. Credit to BA, though. He set up everything - the format, the rules, the prizes. I spent the weekend writing questions (way more questions than I needed to!). The requests to delay the start of activities sure helped!

What makes my deal even sweeter is that it's already sold to a local customer

From Lego stores.

May the 4th be with you, everyone, courtesy of FreeLEGO.com ($21.96 cost after $7 on $25 surprise points (27% off), rest is magic):

Built this since it was may the 4th. Thanks to Tabby Boy for the sale.

The Set is on the Lego Wholesale Retail order form as being available to order all of 2017.

Pretty happy with my latest trade and purchases. The Detention Block Rescue box is even more impressive alongside these other collectibles.
